Hunt Ledbetter said she
hopes to broaden the appeal of the restaurant, but her Scratch
Kitchen won’t start entirely from scratch.

Fans of Bella Luna’s pizza will be comforted to know the pizza
recipes will remain intact.

Scratch Kitchen will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
eatery will have an Internet café vibe in the morning, with coffee,
fresh baked goods, Wi-Fi, and perhaps a new seating area in the
back room.

Hunt Ledbetter plans to expand the breakfast and lunch
menus with more pasta recipes. Scratch Kitchen, as the name
suggests, will emphasize locally-sourced produce and dishes
made from whole ingredients, complemented by a selection of local
beers (and kombucha.)

Hunt Ledbetter said she is a little nervous making
changes to a restaurant that already has a strong following, but
she believes Suquamish will embrace a fresh concept.

“I feel like in smaller communities, like the one we
live in, people love something new,” she said. “… I’m
only going to expand on what Bob had, and keep it going.”

Work on a light remodel will begin this weekend.
Hunt Ledbetter said the makeover will include new floors, new
paint inside and out, and a revamp of the back room used for trivia
nights and live music.

The restaurant should remain open
throughout the project. Scratch Kitchen is tentatively
scheduled to debut Sept. 12.
